Cast chassis... edit
Just noticed your recent edit summary comment and thought you might be interested in the following trivia tit-bit. De Tomaso constructed an Indy 500 chassis that was cast in aluminium. The design had an internal and external skin, with the void between the two acting as the fuel tank. The chassis was cast by Campagnolo and shipped to the US, but there the trail runs cold... Not even the De Tomaso register seem to have been able to find out what happened to it once it reached America. Anyway, that's the only cast chassis I can think of!

Spelling and other stuff... edit
Hey 4 - Just a quick question. Whilst a do agree with you about races, I was wondering what to do about Anglo-American teams. The only team I recall at this moment is Shadow Racing Cars. Should we decide by randomly selecting one from a hat for something? Also, I was looking at try and get back to my old ways and had a look at Ronnie Peterson's article and thought I'd give it a go, just wondering if you might have any material that would help me in my quest to improve it? If not, it's fine, I'll see if the Waterstone's in Crewe has any books/bios on him, I'm sure they would. Finally, apologies for not doing the spoken file for Brabham but I haven't been able to find the time to do it...oh and my voice does actually sound like I'm bored out of my mind over a microphone so it's probably for the best I didn't do it. ;-)
Back to the Peterson point, you wouldn't mind just looking over my edits and telling me where I could expand on? I usually find your pointers a big help when I'm improving an article. If your not in the business of third party reviewing anymore then, once again, it's fine. --Phill talk Edits Review this GA review! 18:07, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
A quick note of thanks edit
Thanks again for your comments on the Motor Sport digital archive. I finally got the '80s CD a couple of days ago and I've had some fun looking at the contemporary reports, especially the editorials which aren't too much different from those of today! It should also come in useful for my plan to expand the 1982 Monaco Grand Prix article at some point.--Diniz(talk) 18:29, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Article of the month - 1995 Pacific Grand Prix, new Featured Article
.png) The 1995 Pacific Grand Prix (formally the II Pacific Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 22, 1995 at the TI Circuit, Aida, Japan. It was the 15th race of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 83 laps, was won by Michael Schumacher for the Benetton team after starting from third position. David Coulthard, who started the Grand Prix from pole position, finished second in a Williams car, with Damon Hill third in the other Williams. Schumacher's win confirmed him as 1995 Drivers' Champion as Hill could not pass Schumacher's points total with only two races remaining. Hill started the race alongside Coulthard on the front row, amidst pressure from the British media for not being "forceful" enough in battles. Schumacher attempted to drive around the outside of Hill at the first corner, but Hill held Schumacher off as Jean Alesi, driving for Ferrari got past both on the inside line to take second position. As a result, Hill dropped down to third and Schumacher dropped down to fifth behind Gerhard Berger. Schumacher managed to get past Alesi and Hill during the first of three pit stops. This allowed him, on a new set of slick tyres, to close on Coulthard who was on a two-stop strategy. Schumacher opened up a gap of 21 seconds by lapping two seconds faster per lap than Coulthard, so that when his third stop came, he still led the race.

Damon edit
Thanks! Felt it was better than not having a reference. Readro (talk) 17:39, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
- After a look at the redesigned article, I'm torn. It's in much better shape now, in terms of writing and structure, and I appreciate your hard work. Still, I can't say that it's the best it can be. The general F1 references remain my biggest concern, and I still see some little awkward sentences, though not as many as before. I am leaning towards nominating the article due to its age as an FA (an effort is being made to review FAs of this era), but I want you to know the purpose of FAR is to raise old articles to modern standards. Downgrades only happen when this doesn't occur, and articles with dedicated editors usually find a way to retain their status. Giants2008 (17-14) 23:29, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I just nominated it. As you said, we'll see what happens. Giants2008 (17-14) 02:21, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Oil shale extraction edit
Hi, 4u1e. In spring, you conducted an informal review of the Oil shale extraction. Although the article was not promoted to the FA status, your review was a great help for improving the article. The main reason, why this article was not promoted, was a prose. However, I am going to renominate this article after some improvements. I hope you agree to review this article again and help to bring it to the FA level. Thank you in advance. Beagel (talk) 19:16, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 Belgian Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate
The 2008 Belgian Grand Prix (formally the LXIV ING Belgian Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on September 7, 2008, at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Spa, Belgium. It was the 13th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 44 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team, after the initial winner, McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, was penalised for cutting a chicane and gaining an advantage over Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen. Hamilton started from pole position alongside title rival Massa. Hamilton's McLaren team-mate Heikki Kovalainen started from third next to the 2007 winner Kimi Räikkönen. Following a spin by Hamilton on the second lap, Räikkönen led the race, until rain fell on lap 41 and Hamilton performed the penalised pass. Räikkönen crashed in the following lap as rain started raining heavily. Massa finished second on the road after Hamilton, followed by Nick Heidfeld of BMW Sauber. Hamilton received a drive-through penalty, which demoted him to third place and advanced Massa and Heidfeld to first and second positions. McLaren appealed the decision at the FIA International Court of Appeal. Their case, however, was judged inadmissible, with the Court ruling that drive-through penalties cannot be challenged. The penalty created a large amount of criticism from the global press, mainly from the United Kingdom and Italy, with several former drivers questioning the decision. Massa's retrospective win, with Hamilton demoted to third, narrowed the gap in the Championship from six points to just two.

Article of the month - Damon Hill, kept at Featured Article status after review.
 Damon Graham Devereux Hill OBE (born 17 September 1960) is a retired British racing driver from England. In 1996 Hill won the Formula One World Championship; as the son of the late Graham Hill, he is the only son of a world champion to win the title. His father died in a plane crash when Hill was 15, leaving the family in reduced circumstances and Hill came to professional motorsports at the relatively late age of 23 by racing motorcycles. After some minor success, he moved on to single-seater racing cars, and progressed steadily up the ranks to the International Formula 3000 championship by 1989, where although often competitive he never won a race. Hill became a test driver for the Formula One title-winning Williams team in 1992. He was unexpectedly promoted to the Williams race team the following year after 1992 champion Nigel Mansell's departure and took the first of his 22 victories at the 1993 Hungarian Grand Prix. During the mid 1990s, Hill was Michael Schumacher's main rival for the Formula One Driver's Championship. The two clashed on and off the track; their collision at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix gave Schumacher his first title by a single point. Hill won the 1996 World Drivers' Championship, but was dropped by Williams for the following season. He went on to drive for the less competitive Arrows and Jordan teams, and in 1998 gave Jordan its first win. Hill retired from racing after the 1999 season. He has since launched several businesses as well as making appearances playing the guitar with celebrity bands. In 2006, he became president of the British Racing Drivers' Club, succeeding Jackie Stewart.

You could have done this a little sooner! :) It's fine, if you have problems with it I'm more than willing to work through them with you. I think though, that the change you did make makes that sentence a little too long; I found it quite hard to follow when I read it. Apterygial 09:15, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- I can't really help you edit those sentences; I agree with the reviewer after you who found the "short, staccato sentences... a breath of fresh air", which, given the heat in this country, could only be a good thing. Apterygial 04:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- I thought that was the best IP I'd ever seen! You've even got people imploring you to create an account! You're certainly entitled to your opinion, and I don't really disagree with any of the edits you did. I was always taught to have short, concise sentences. Like this one. And this one. Actually, that one started with "and". Can't have that. Whoops, a contraction. Apterygial 08:49, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - List of Formula One Grand Prix winners, new Featured List
 Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must conform. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The most famous Grand Prix is the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors. Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most Grand Prix victories, having won 91 times. Alain Prost, is second with 51 wins, and Ayrton Senna is third, with 41 wins. Michael Schumacher holds the distinction of having the longest time between his first win and his last. He won his first Grand Prix in 1992 at the Belgian Grand Prix, and his last in 2006 at the Chinese Grand Prix, a gap that spans 14 years, 1 month and 1 day. The youngest winner of a Grand Prix is Sebastian Vettel, who was 21 years, 73 days old when he won the 2008 Italian Grand Prix. Luigi Fagioli is the oldest winner of a Formula One Grand Prix; he was 53 years and 22 days old when he won the 1951 French Grand Prix.

Can you also go and check Schumi page ? someone edited it a lot today, and I thought some of the comments were PoV as well as others being non-neutral, so would appreciate a second opinion as I keep reading the same things over and over and I'm starting to lose objectivity.

- Personally, I think you should to some extent own it, although I know it's against Wikiworld ethics lol, you have deep knowledge and your copy writing is great. I was rather trying to explain why I had done it rather than complain about it. For example some of the Schumacher paragraphs are much better since you changed them.--Chaosdruid (talk) 18:17, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Mosley edit
The judge's ruling is at [2]. The relevant bit is:
- 121. As it happens, some of the women were rather reluctant to accept the description “prostitute”. (For the purposes of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, the term is defined by reference to providing “sexual services” in return for payment: s.51(2) of the Act.) Several of them offer a variety of services on their website (usually spanking or being spanked in various guises) but expressly warn that they do not offer specifically sexual services. They apparently made an exception in “Mike’s” case and threw in a bit of sex, as it were, as an “extra” between friends. Indeed, sometimes they were not paid at all. As they liked the premises and found the atmosphere relaxing and congenial, things developed from there, Indeed, although the Claimant’s sexual activity as revealed in the DVD material did not seem to amount to very much, some of the women stayed on after the party was over and indulged in same sex action purely for their own entertainment.
It's not so much that prostitute is necessarily wrong, but it seems to be a matter of POV, and definition. Perhaps there is a better word than "sex worker", I just feel we should be wary of using "prostitute" if the label seems to be disputed by some of the women. Mdwh (talk) 23:11, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Ralph Bakshi edit
Hi. I clarified your concerns about the citations. You may want to rethink your opposal of the FAC. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 23:57, 12 February 2009 (UTC))
- Listen, I really do not appreciate you opposing the FAC on the basis of problems that simply are not there. It's really damaging to the article's success for one reviewer to barely glance at the article and post an opposition. This tends to cause people to overlook the article and further impairs its recognition. I just find this really poor form for another editor to do something like this. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 05:12, 13 February 2009 (UTC))
- Sorry about that, it's just that I've had this article up six times, and every time towards the end when I think it's going to be promoted, the FAC fails because users who opposed in the past never took the time to check again to see if their concerns were actually addressed. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 13:30, 14 February 2009 (UTC))
- Fixed the sentence about "Harlem Shuffle" and added Mancusco's perspective to the sentence on Cool World. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 20:22, 14 February 2009 (UTC))
- I went ahead and deleted the part about "Harlem Shuffle", being that it's a minor part of Bakshi's history. I've repeatedly stated that I checked through all of the references and they do, in fact, reflect what they are sourcing. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 20:54, 14 February 2009 (UTC))
- I do not think that you look at the references closely enough. The fact is that they do reflect the text. I don't see any problems with the sourcing. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 21:06, 14 February 2009 (UTC))
- Believe me, I've checked all of the citations myself. They back up the information that they are supposed to. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 22:42, 16 February 2009 (UTC))

Article of the month - 2008 Chinese Grand Prix, new Good Article
 The 2008 Chinese Grand Prix (formally the V Sinopec Chinese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 19, 2008 at the Shanghai International Circuit, Shanghai, China. It was the 17th and penultimate race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 56 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Ferrari driver Felipe Massa finished second, and Kimi Räikkönen was third in the other Ferrari. Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, led the Championship going into the race, and started from pole position alongside Räikkönen. Second in the Drivers' Championship, Massa began from third, next to Fernando Alonso of Renault. The first three drivers retained their positions into the first corner, but Alonso was passed by Hamilton's McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen. However, Alonso was able to regain the place midway through the first lap. Over the course of the race, Hamilton extended a considerable lead over the two Ferraris. Massa passed Räikkönen with seven laps remaining, to improve his chances of surpassing Hamilton's points tally at the final race in Brazil. The result extended Ferrari's lead over McLaren in the Constructors' Championship from seven to 11 points. Third-placed in the Drivers' Championship, Robert Kubica's sixth place at the Grand Prix eliminated his hopes of winning the Championship, and reduced his lead over fourth-placed Räikkönen to six points.

Saruman edit
Just curious: what do you have against "before" [3] and "appear" [4] ? Elphion (talk) 19:37, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
OK, I grant you "appear". Elphion (talk) 19:40, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
(Webster's 7th): "before adv 1. in advance: ahead; 2. earlier, previously." Yes, it is also a preposition, but a perfectly good adverb. In this context, I think "before" reads better than "earlier". No big deal; the edit just struck me as peculiar. Elphion (talk) 22:30, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

LOTR as "trilogy" edit
Good additions to Saruman. But "trilogy" makes me cringe a bit. Tolkien reacted emphatically against its being applied to LOTR, as to him the books constituted a single novel, not three related novels. I see that you are trying to avoid confusion of "book" and "Book III" (a Good Thing), but I would advise avoiding "trilogy". Elphion (talk) 00:58, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 German Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate.
 The 2008 German Grand Prix (formally the LXVIII Großer Preis Santander von Deutschland) was a Formula One motor race held on July 20, 2008 at the Hockenheimring, Hockenheim, Germany. It was the 10th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 67 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Nelson Piquet, Jr. finished second in a Renault car, with Felipe Massa third in a Ferrari. Hamilton maintained his startline advantage and led until he made his first pit stop on lap 18. As other cars made their pit stops, Hamilton regained the lead on lap 22. On lap 36 Timo Glock crashed, and the race was neutralized by the deployment of the safety car. Hamilton, on a two-stop strategy, did not stop to get more fuel during this period, while all the cars around him did. Thus when he did eventually stop on lap 50, he rejoined the race in fifth. In the closing stages of the race, Hamilton overtook first his team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, then Massa, and finally Piquet, to take the lead again on lap 60, which he maintained to win the race. The victory was Hamilton's second consecutive win, having won the preceding British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The win put him ahead of his two main rivals in the Drivers' Championship, Kimi Räikkönen (who finished sixth) and Massa of Ferrari, who were on equal points with him before the race. After the race he was four points ahead of Räikkönen, and seven ahead of Massa. In the Constructors' Championship, McLaren drew closer to the two teams ahead of them, BMW Sauber and Ferrari. Ferrari still led by 15 points from McLaren, and 12 from BMW, whose drivers – Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica – finished fourth and seventh respectively.

Article of the month - 2008 Bahrain Grand Prix, new Good Article
 The 2008 Bahrain Grand Prix (formally the V Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on April 6, 2008 at the Bahrain International Circuit, in Sakhir, Bahrain. It was the third race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 57 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team. Kimi Räikkönen was second in the other Ferrari, and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica was third. The race began with Kubica in pole position alongside Massa; Lewis Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, started from third, alongside Räikkönen. Kubica was passed by Massa into the first corner, and then by Räikkönen on the third lap. The Ferraris dominated at the front of the race, leading to their one-two finish. Hamilton had a slow start after almost stalling on the grid, and dropped back to ninth. The McLaren driver ran into the back of Fernando Alonso's Renault a lap later, breaking off the McLaren's front wing and dropping Hamilton to the back of the field. Kubica's strong finish promoted BMW Sauber to the lead in the Constructors' Championship, after BMW driver Nick Heidfeld finished fourth. Ferrari and McLaren trailed, one and two points behind, respectively. Räikkönen took the lead in the Drivers' Championship, with 19 points, three points ahead of Heidfeld and five ahead of Hamilton, Kubica and Kovalainen, with 15 races remaining in the season.

If you have any time, and in light of your comments at Japan's FAC, could you please take a look at 2008 Monaco Grand Prix for me and let me know if you have any concerns about it at its PR? Your PRs in the past have been very useful, and I'd love to get your eyes in on this one. Thanks, Apterygial 08:49, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
You have a current nominee at WP:FOUR. We are trying to clear out the log of nominees without having the nominator confirm the eligibility. If you have a chance could you help confirm a nominee or two.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 21:19, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi 4u1e. I noticed you a while back reviewed one of the other 1995 Grand Prix article I've been working on - the 1995 Japan GP article. I was wondering whether you could peer review the 1995 Brazilian Grand Prix article for me, leaving you're comments here. If you could make any comments at the PR, that'd be great.

Article of the month - 2008 Turkish Grand Prix, new Good Article
 The 2008 Turkish Grand Prix (formally the IV Petrol Ofisi Turkish Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on May 11, 2008 at the Istanbul Racing Circuit, Istanbul, Turkey. It was the fifth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 58 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from pole position. Lewis Hamilton finished second in a McLaren, with Kimi Räikkönen third in the second Ferrari. Massa claimed pole, with teammate Räikkönen fourth, the two Ferrari cars sandwiching the McLarens of Heikki Kovalainen and Hamilton. At the first corner Räikkönen clipped Kovalainen's rear tyre and gave him a puncture. The safety car was deployed on the first lap, after a collision, but only remained out for one lap. During the course of the race, Hamilton, intending to make one more pit stop than both Ferrari drivers, was faster than Massa due to carrying a lighter fuel load and overtook him on lap 24. After Hamilton had made his third pit stop, he rejoined in second behind Massa but in front of the Championship leader, Räikkönen. Massa won the race, with Hamilton 3.779 seconds behind, and Räikkönen a further half-second behind. The two BMW Sauber cars of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld took fourth and fifth. In the week running up to the grand prix, the Super Aguri team had withdrawn from Formula One, due to financial problems, leaving the sport with only ten teams. Massa's victory was his third consecutive pole position and victory in Turkey, having also won the race from pole in 2006 and 2007. This was also Rubens Barrichello's 257th Grand Prix start, breaking Riccardo Patrese's previous record of 256. Due to the race result, Räikkönen's lead in the Drivers' Championship was lowered to seven points. Massa rose to second from fourth, whilst Hamilton dropped to third, both drivers tying on 28 points but separated by Massa's two wins thus far to Hamilton's one. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 22 points ahead of BMW Sauber, with McLaren a further two points behind in third.

Marc Gené edit
I saw your edit regarding Gené's nationality - you probably read the talk page discussion, and I did suggest this method to him, but he went his own way. Quite a difficult chap! Let's see if he "allows" it! ;) Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:59, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- I agree, I think the consensus we have about the British drivers is not only fair but it seems to please most people. So I thought it would work for our Catalan friend too, but he certainly feels strongly about it. I lived in Spain for a time and I've always been very sympathetic to the causes of the various Spanish regions, but you sure can't please all of the people all of the time! Keep up the good work, Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:35, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
ISC edit
My point was that it is possible (however ridiculously) that a driver of one nationality can compete representing another country. Anyways, I trust we aren't entering F1 in near future and hence don't need to worry about these iota details! Cheers! LeaveSleaves 17:44, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 Monaco Grand Prix, new Featured Article
 The 2008 Monaco Grand Prix (formally the LXVI Grand Prix de Monaco) was a Formula One motor race held on May 25, 2008 at the Circuit de Monaco; contested over 76 laps, it was the sixth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race was won by the season's eventual Drivers' Champion, Lewis Hamilton, for the McLaren team. BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica finished second, and Felipe Massa, who started from pole position, was third in a Ferrari. Conditions were wet at the start of the race. Massa maintained his lead into the first corner, but his teammate Kimi Räikkönen was passed for second by Hamilton, who had started in third position on the grid. Hamilton suffered a punctured tyre on lap six, forcing him to make a pit stop from which he re-entered the race in fifth place. As the track dried and his rivals made their own pit stops Hamilton became the race leader, a position he held until the end of the race. Kubica's strategy allowed him to pass Massa during their second pit stops, after the latter's Ferrari was forced to change from wet to dry tyres. Räikkönen dropped back from fifth position to ninth after colliding with Adrian Sutil's Force India late in the race. Sutil had started from 18th on the grid and was in fourth position before the incident, which allowed Red Bull driver Mark Webber to finish fourth, ahead of Toro Rosso driver Sebastian Vettel in fifth. The race was Hamilton's second win of the season, his first in Monaco, and the result meant that he led the Drivers' Championship, seven points ahead of Räikkönen and eight ahead of Massa. Ferrari maintained their lead in the Constructors' Championship, 16 points ahead of McLaren and 17 ahead of BMW Sauber, with 12 races of the season remaining.

The deadline is mostly to spur some editors into action, and if no actions are taken in the first week, it's usually failed so that I can move on to other articles.

Article of the month - 2008 French Grand Prix, current Good Article nominee.
 The 2008 French Grand Prix (formally the XCIII Grand Prix de France) was a Formula One motor race held on June 22, 2008 at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, France. It was the eighth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from second position. Kimi Räikkönen, who started from pole position, finished second in the other Ferrari car; Jarno Trulli was third in a Toyota. Räikkönen and Massa both made a clean start. Renault's Fernando Alonso, who started third, was overtaken by Trulli and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica. The front three of Räikkönen, Massa and Trulli maintained their positions through the first round of pit stops. On lap 30, Räikkönen led Massa by six and a half seconds, and Trulli by 30 seconds. Just before half distance, Räikkönen's right exhaust pipe broke, which caused the engine to lose power. Massa, in second place, began lapping quicker than Räikkönen, and he caught and passed him on lap 39. Massa maintained his lead through the second round of pit stops, and won the race; Räikkönen finished almost 18 seconds behind. Trulli fended off McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen, who challenged him in the latter stages, to take third. Massa's win promoted him into the lead of the Drivers' Championship for the first time in his career, overtaking Kubica. Kubica was second, two points behind Massa, while Räikkönen was third. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 17 points ahead of BMW Sauber, McLaren a further 16 points behind in third.

Just to let you know, I am intending to take the article to FAC this weekend, as I want to be able to book the main page spot as soon as possible. Don't feel pressured or obliged to add any more comments, as useful as they would be, but I'm already concerned I've left it a little late. Thanks, Apterygial 11:11, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- I have a strange feeling that there is something on Caracciola and Neubauer in Autocourse 2003-04. Would you be able to confirm that? If it takes too long to find, don't worry, as I don't know what page it's on. :) Thanks. Apterygial 02:06, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
- I wouldn't bother. I was just looking at google books, and I thought there was an outside chance that short bit from Autocourse might be something. Doesn't look like there is anything in the other ones, anyway. Thanks for looking. Apterygial 00:00, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I just wanted to thank you for the help you gave me on Rudolf Caracciola, and all the articles I've worked on before that. I've really appreciated the comments you have left on the FAC page, it makes things a lot easier when there is someone else putting in their two cents and offering a new perspective.

Article of the month - Brabham BT46, current Good Article, after reassessment.
 The Brabham BT46 was a Formula One racing car, designed by Gordon Murray for the Brabham team, owned by Bernie Ecclestone, for the 1978 Formula One season. The car featured several radical design elements, the most obvious of which was the use of flat panel heat exchangers on the bodywork of the car to replace conventional water and oil radiators. The concept did not work in practice and was removed before the car’s race debut, never to be seen again. The cars, powered by a flat-12 Alfa Romeo engine, raced competitively with modified nose-mounted radiators for most of the year, driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson, winning one race in this form and scoring sufficient points for the team to finish third in the constructors championship. The "B" variant of the car, also known as the "fan car", was introduced at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix as a counter to the dominant ground effect Lotus 79. The BT46B generated an immense level of downforce by means of a fan, claimed to be for increased cooling, but which also extracted air from beneath the car. The car only raced once in this configuration in the Formula One World Championship—when Niki Lauda won the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstorp. The car was withdrawn before it could race again and the concept was declared illegal by the FIA. The BT46B therefore preserves a 100% winning record.

Shale oil extraction edit
Hi, 4u1e. One and half year ago you assisted to review the Shale oil extraction article. After extensive work with this article, there is a plan to renominate this article for FAC. I wonder if you still agree to take a look and assist by reviewing it before proceeding with the FAC renomination? Thank you in advance. Beagel (talk) 15:18, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 1995 British Grand Prix, currently listed for a Peer Review.
 The 1995 British Grand Prix (formally the XLVIII British Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on July 16, 1995 at Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, Northamptonshire, England. It was the eighth round of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 61 laps, was won by Johnny Herbert for the Benetton team after starting from fifth position. Jean Alesi finished second in a Ferrari, with David Coulthard third in a Williams car. Herbert's victory was his first in Formula One, and the Benetton team's fifth of the season. The race was dominated, however, by the fight between championship protagonists Michael Schumacher (Benetton) and Damon Hill (Williams). Hill, who started from pole position, retained his lead during the opening stages of the race whilst Schumacher, who started alongside him on the grid, fell behind Alesi in the run to the first corner. Despite being held up behind the slower Ferrari until it pitted, Schumacher used a more favourable one-stop strategy to move ahead of Hill, who made two pit stops for fuel and tyres, on lap 41. Four laps later, Hill attempted to pass Schumacher, but the two collided and were forced to retire from the race. This promoted the battling Herbert and Coulthard into the fight for the lead. Coulthard passed Herbert, but dropped back to third after incurring a stop-go penalty for speeding in the pit lane.

Article of the month - DAMS GD-01, current Peer Review nominee
The DAMS GD-01 was an unraced Formula One car used by the French motorsport team, Driot-Arnoux Motor Sport (DAMS). The GD-01 was designed and built by a collaboration of DAMS and Reynard engineers from 1994 to 1995, and was intended to establish the team—which had achieved considerable success in lower categories—in Formula One, but a continuing lack of finance meant that the team never entered the championship, despite completing construction of the chassis and conducting some testing.

Article of the month - Fittipaldi Automotive, current Good Article Review
 Fittipaldi Automotive, sometimes called Copersucar after its first major sponsor, was the only Formula One motor racing team and constructor ever to be based in Brazil. It was formed during 1974 by racing driver Wilson Fittipaldi and his younger brother, double world champion Emerson, with money from the Brazilian sugar and alcohol cooperative Copersucar. In 1976 Emerson surprised the motor racing world by leaving the title-winning McLaren team to drive for the unsuccessful family outfit. Future world champion Keke Rosberg took his first podium finish in Formula One with the team. The team was based in São Paulo, almost 6,000 miles (10,000 km) away from the centre of the world motor racing industry in the UK, before moving to Reading, UK during 1974. It participated in 119 grands prix between 1975 and 1982, entering a total of 156 cars. It achieved 3 podiums and scored 44 championship points.

Article of the month - 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, current Peer Review candidate.
 The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008 at the Hungaroring, Budapest, Hungary. It was the eleventh race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team after starting from second position. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It marked Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and it was also Glock's first podium finish. Much of the race, however, was dominated by a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten into the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship protagonists commenced a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton suffered a puncture just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a comfortable lead. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing Kovalainen to take the win.
